fed up of waiting for the phantom to come back into stock... so I've just bought one

£76 Delivered for the kit version

It will be waiting for me to build when I come home in June

Lol..we'll I remember when I first mention about a wing with a clear dome on it had to close the thread lol.....but that asside darker skies in our country will benefit it..

Looks cool but I bet that pod is going to be a nuisance with glare,

[MrBen]

yeah they should do a cheaper version without the p&t mech and dome, just a foam nose like rvjet does, could be $10-$15 cheaper

[Dusty]

I was umming and arring for ages before buying it... I don't like the idea of an easily scratched dome, nor even the idea of a front mounted dome at all for fear of damaging it at the first failed launch (which happens a lot to me as we all know). But for the price, £76 delivered, I thought why not take a chance. I won't be putting a HD camera in the dome, it will just be a board cam (most likely the PZ0420) or the ben's pixim if I can find a way to mount it.

I still have the Skywalker for HD footage gathering, This will be as light as possible for my longer range attempts especially now I'm on 1.2 for video and EzUHF for control.

4 months till I get to play with it (probably longer as the wife wants to go on holiday), so no doubt there'll be plenty of flying examples around to help me get ideas for the build.

4 months Chris,thats a lifetime for you to change your mind and flog it mate

[xxpitt]

Could u not leave dome off. Or would it fly like crap without it

[Andy66]

With the dome off it would be terrible amount of drag, the more I think of it the more this plane seems useless.

[brodjackella]

wonder if image through dome would be distorted

[Andy66]

wonder if image through dome would be distorted

like flying after a good amount of stellas.

[MrBen]

lets not confuse the dome with a lense, it may have reflections etc but I doubt it will actually distort the image

[xxpitt]

Surely any bent glass can disrort an image though

[MrBen]

i eat my words, it does distort the image

Go discover dome

[Andy66]

Ohhhh I wonder who thought of this design, must have been pretty daft.
